It's a fun one! I've done this pattern before using 8 oz of handspun. I love the shawl but it was a very multicolored spin which took away from some of the details.

Thus the choice for a tonal yarn on this second make 🥰

You have a lovely collection of spindles, and the spun singles are looking beautiful. I hope the plying wasn't too hard or challenging.

This is a lovely dye and spin!

Thank you 😊 I have wanted to do combo spins before but it was emotionally hard to stash dive and try something new. But somehow having someone else color pick made it easier to let go and just see the colors come together. Now that I've done one I think I could stash dive my lonely dyed braids.

The current plan is a sweater. But I don't know if I'll need to add in some white / other colors to add yardage maybe as colorwork or the cuff, collar, and ribbing. I'll have to check final yardage after the wash.

Thank you! I love how well all the braids worked together and I'm excited to work up the skeins after I wash and set them 😊

Thank you 🥰 It was a ton of fun to spin

Thank you!

I was a fun spin! Hopefully I'll see the dyer at events this year and be able to get more fiber. She's more known for her yarns locally so the dyed fiber doesn't go to every trunk show.

I love how you laid out this picture! Having examples of all the steps (so far) looks so pretty 😍

Just double checked my notes and this is actually the colorways Crashing Waves AND Tranquil. Oops. 😅

The skeins!

"Crashing Waves" took a different method. I carded up the fiber on my drum carder and then drafted it in to roving.
